“...Pollack’s snark was too cute by half”’

One of the first places to start in ‘setting the record straight’ is academia. For way too long academics have been given an esteem they don’t deserve. The real world accuracy and relevance of academic opinions is often minimal. Politicians, academics, and the media have formed into a self-congratulatory elitist triumvirate who rarely listen to opinions outside of their own ranks. As such they often have no idea how much they have no idea.
